Interesting, but those letters arent inlayed, you can see the striations on the ribs through the lettering. Yep, very easy to see that this is not an inlay if you blow the picture up a bit. Actually, it looks like it was done with a rubber stamp and white ink. Could be another Bob Cash upgrade.

Believe it or not, there are other Lincoln Jeffries that are marked that way as well as other makers/retailers. Still the question remains. Hows it done?

When I enlarge the photo the striations appear to be from the sanding of the rib/inlay which I have seen on many of my own lettering inlays prior to polishing with a much finer grit.

For those who don't know how to do that, press and hold the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard, and at the same time, hit the "+" key several times. Do the same thing with the "Ctrl" and "-" key to reduce it back to the usual size.

So what's the concensus? Seems like at least a few who do inlay are suggesting the 'striations' are just sanding marks that could be seen on inlaid silver while others see those marks as rock solid proof that it's not inlay

I would have to have the gun in hand to confirm, at least to myself.

Jim, did you enlarge the photo and look yourself? The more you blow up the photo, the more apparent it becomes that this lettering isn't inlay work. And I don't know of any engraver who would lay claim to doing inlay that looked like that. If the owner of the gun likes the lettering, he should be very careful to avoid wiping it down with lacquer thinner.

Interesting, but those letters arent inlayed, you can see the striations on the ribs through the letting. As I have had to have this kind of lettering redone on numerous occasions ,coming out when reblacking or stripping and relaying ribs ,its the engraver who refills them .Biggest problem is they are often not cut deep enough te engraver not wanting to go to deep for fear of breaking through a thin rib .Any marks showing are from clothing off after the letters were inlaid .
